[racket-users] Is something wrong with the documentation site?

Hi Folks, I just noticed that I can't seem to find the docs for some packages such as Pollen anymore. https://docs.racket-lang.org/pollen/ Is returning a page not found. I don't know if it is related, but my Racket 8.0 CS on macOS is also complaining that "pkg" is not a valid raco command. Did

Good afternoon friends, I'm trying to build a distributable version of my little Gemini browser: https://git.sr.ht/~soapdog/fafi-browser The source folder contains a `main.rkt` which has `(module+ main ...)` in it. I thought that selecting that file and using the menu to create a distribution

2020-08-17 Thread Andre Garzia
Hi Folks, The OpenSSL DLLs being shipped with Racket (in version 7.7 at least) is v1.1.0.8 which has already been EOLd. Version 1.1.1 is the stable version. Version 1.1.1 is LTS and supported until 2023. In theory 1.1.1 is a drop-in replacement for 1.1.0.8 since it is ABI and binary compatible

Hi Folks, I have an interesting project to share. I have built a simple Graphical Gemini client using Racket. Gemini is a new protocol in the "small internet" movement, it is easy and fun to implement. You can think of Gemini as more than Gopher but less than the Web. Learn more about it at:

[racket-users] Any news on ARM64?

2020-06-18 Thread Andre Garzia
Some weeks ago, there was a post here about porting Chez to ARM64 and thus enabling Racket CS to work on those platforms. I haven't heard anything about it after that, doesn anyone here have any news? I use an ARM64 machine as my daily driver (with Windows 10) and am very curious about progress.

I noticed a similar behavior if I left any dangling "display" or "write" in the code, a terminal window would open with those messages in it. Is this what might be happening to you? On Tue, 26 May 2020 at 12:09, Philip Benade wrote: > Hi Alex > > I managed to get it working. Updating Dr.Racket

I’ve been trying to compile Racket to Windows on Arm for a while but I don’t really have the experience and skills to do it. I think that I might be close to compile minimal racket but I have no idea on how to move to a full racket build because from what I’ve seen, the build system relies on
